Invoice statuses

Description

Invoice statuses are stages in the invoicing process from drafting and sending the invoice to payment. Other statuses can be added to meet the needs of your company. For example, if you use a billing service or an accounting integration it might be good to identify when invoices are transferred.

Invoice statuses can be delimited with the following criteria: read only, which means the invoice can't be edited or deleted; invoice number, which indicates when numbers are assigned; awaiting payment, which means the invoice has been sent to the customer, but no payment has been received; Sent, which simply means the invoice was sent; paid, which means payment has been received; and default after credit is the status invoices receive after being reimbursed.

Disabling a status doesn't affect invoices currently marked with that status, however a disabled status is no longer available for selection in the status drop-down menu. Note that If you switch invoice status directly from draft to reimbursed, it will also going through steps sent and paid
